Yup, needed the ground clearance for the snow drifts. Apparently trees are a foreign concept around here. I miss the northeast, there isn't a good corner within 50 miles of this place, so the only time I can even think of drifting is a snow covered parking lot. It is a good vehicle for what I need right now, but I really miss the E39. If they still made them, I would buy another.

Chris,
I see you had both an E60 and E39 M5, if you had the option to get one of them again which would you chose? The lease on my M5 is up in February and I'm on the fence about keeping it. I might look for an '03 E39 just for fun.
